Wednesday afternoon however, Billy stole march on them, preempting the conversation with a plea to his mom. Shortly after he arrived home from the local college he attended he found Mollie in the kitchen where she was cooking and asked her to come to his room. His solemn long face indicated to her that something serious was up; she took the pot off the stove and followed him. When they got to his bedroom he perched on the side of his mattress and she sat beside him. She asked what was bothering him.
“Mom, did you find my . . uh . . naked girl magazines, when you changed the sheets yesterday?”
“I did, yes. But you don’t have to be embarrassed about them; boys naturally like to look at nude girlie magazines, when they get older.”
“Whew! I thought that maybe one of my sisters had found them, when I saw that somebody had been messing with them.”
“Well, I think that neither Julie nor Mary would be shocked by naked ladies. I doubt that they would be interested in them. I told your dad, but he didn’t have a problem with it. In fact, we were planning a little talk about the facts of life and such, for Friday night. Just we and you, to make sure you had the correct information about sex.”
“That would be okay. I was just worried about if the girls found my private stuff. You know how I hate it when they get into my things. And if they found those, they would tease me no end, you know how they are.”
“Yes, your sisters delight in torturing you with their teasing, don’t they? But I just happened to see them and looked them over out of curiosity. I didn’t mean to invade your privacy, I’m sorry, Honey, forgive me?”
“Sure mom. I know you and dad are cool with those sorts of things. You are easier going than most parents. All my friends think that you are nicer than their own folks.”
“Well, that’s sweet. I think your dad and I are maybe just more realistic in our expectations of their kids than some other people. Could I ask you a question about those pictures I found?”
“Okay. I meant to hide them better, but I forgot to put them back in their secret place.”
“Where’s that? Never mind, that wouldn’t be a good hiding place if you gave it away, would it. I don’t mean to pry. But I am curious. There was one picture in those magazines that seemed to be your favorite . . .” Mollie reached under the bed and pulled out the box with the adult publications. She flipped a few pages until she found the one she wanted, “this one. Is that one you really like a lot, find rather hot?”
” . . Yeah . .” Billy could guess where she was going, but was unsure he wanted to talk about it.
“It kind of looks like me, doesn’t it?”
“Uh . . I guess, sort of . .”
“Do you masturbate looking at this photo?”
“Yes.” In a small voice.
Mollie didn’t want to have her son feel humiliated, so she knew he needed to be reassured right then, that she wasn’t upset. “That’s a nice compliment, that you find somebody who resembles me, sexy. I don’t mind. Do you think of me when you jack off? I know that some boys do have an attraction for their moms. That is not a bad thing; it just means their moms are good looking. Do you think I’m good looking enough to have fantasies about?”
